“Today my second kid graduated from Building Blocks. Both of my kids started as months old babies and stayed all the way through graduation. The teachers are super caring and throughout all these years it has been basically worry free. They also do a very good job getting the kids ready for school. It's quite emotional to finally say goodbye and I have only good things to say about Building Blocks. Lots of good memories to cherish.”

“My child is in the Pre-K program at the Goddard School and he has been thriving. The teachers are very knowledgeable, supportive, caring, and welcoming. I am confident he will be more than prepared for kindergarten. I also feel very safe leaving him at school. Communication throughout the day from the school helps ease my mind and keeps me up to date on what my child is doing. I will be sending my daughter there when she is old enough as well. Cannot recommend this school enough!”

“Where do I begin? I can talk about the teachers and how they do an amazing job not only engaging the kids with meaningful activities but also helping new parents in their new journey, we need help too lol. I can talk about the amazing director, Wendy, and how she goes out of her way to be involved with each child's development, how she remembers every kids and parents name kind of amazes me. I can talk about how clean and welcoming building blocks is. But at the end of the day what matters to me most is that my girls are happy, no excited, to go the school/daycare everyday. Highly recommend, if I could give a 6th star I could!!!!”

“There is no doubt that me and my wife were very nervous in putting our daughter in daycare as it was all very new to us. However, after joining the JCC and getting to know all of the wonderful people, it soon became our saving grace. We knew that when we dropped her off she was safe and in good hands, and that’s all you can ask for as a parent. The facilities are incredibly clean, the classes fun and working out there was always a pleasure. I especially want to thank Danielle Mittleman as she has perpetually been truly kind and caring, and that made all the difference to our family. I am not one to write reviews, but felt compelled to share our sincere and overwhelming appreciation.”

“My 1st child went to First United Methodist Nursery School. The program was perfect for him! The teacher to student ratio is fantastic. Each teacher is caring, full of imaginative spirit, and they keep the day running smoothy. I am excited that my 2nd child is signed up to attend in the coming fall!”

“The Baby Cottage has been a godsend for our infant daughter. She was a mere 4 months old when she started, and as new parents, my husband and I were inherently concerned about her development and quality of life overall. Each day we pick her up at Baby Cottage, she has an illuminating smile. The staff is extremely professional, kind, and very much engaged with each child. Everyday we receive a detailed hand-written report-out on her progress, which I have a great deal of respect for personally. As parents, we also value that Baby Cottage has no TVs, as we've heard stories where daycares simply use television as a device to distract/calm the children vs. actually interacting with them. Not to mention, they supply all diapers, formula, and food for the children. You cannot find a better situation than this. I highly recommend The Baby Cottage to any parent whether your child is an infant or toddler.”

“Nitzan has been an amazing environment for my two kids. The staff is so nurturing and dedicated to each child. The Director - Amy, is always approachable and accommodating to every child/ family needs. At Nitzan your child will not be only a number like in many other schools and at every drop off you can rest assure that your child is being well taken care of.”

“Great school from my experience! My son loved going to school here from the explorer program all the way to pre-K 4. They have lovely enrichment options like field trips, music and gym. They are welcoming and inclusive to all. The lesson plans are always sent to you as a parent ahead of time and they incorporate family projects into their monthly curriculum. I have been thrilled with them and appreciate that the lunch and snack program is inclusive in the tuition. As a hard working parent, I recognize they are not for profit and run by a board inclusive of parents. These are all benefits to the "everyday" working parent and the reasons why I refer them to my friends. Too often, we are quick to write reviews on negative experiences, myself included. I wanted to take the time to note this positive one for future parents considering applying to this school. Schedule a tour and check them out, you can decide for yourself. I cannot say enough good things, even through the uncertain times of the covid pandemic where everyone was learning to navigate a new path, they communicated upfront and valued parental feedback. Their was notable turnover in staff during that time as with all industries but this has since stabilized. I can honestly say they have always made every effort to accommodate the collective needs of the parents. This speaks volumes as to why my children return year after year.”

“My daughter goes to pre-school here. The nuns love her and treat her like their own. She has been learning a ton and she loves to go to school. I wasn't thrilled with the place initially because they do most of their fund-raising right up front and it set a good tone. I wish they would spread it out throughout the year a little better and pick some better fund-raising partners (other than the holiday show which is wonderful). But I'm glad I kept my daughter here, and I plan to have my younger daughter go here as well.”
